        Ideal for apple picking and or some tree works as having 3 legs they are stable on uneven ground and the narrow top is easier to get amongst branches than paralell ladders.

        I was actually semi serious about them being a possible solution, using ones with a chain stay (rather than solid strut) so the rear pole could be pushed down amongst the branches and the ladder top pushed into gaps along the hedge, getting it in far enough to reach to the back. But when I found that image above I couldn't resist using it.
